Hi, I’ve just set up our Scholastic Book Club school group order online. This means you can now order all the books in your Book Clubs leaflet and many more at http://clubs-school.scholastic.co.uk/harlaw-academy and, what’s more, you’ll be able to have your books delivered to school for FREE!

You need to order your books by Sunday 12th May 2013. After that date, I’ll confirm that all orders are in and the books will be delivered to school for me to hand out in class. For every £1 you spend 20p goes back to our school to spend on much-needed books for our library!

Take a look at what’s on offer here http://clubs-school.scholastic.co.uk/harlaw-academy  – there are some great bargains with books costing as little as £1.99!

Happy reading!

AR BookFinder

Now you can find out if the book you’re reading at home has an Accelerated Reader quiz. 

Just click on the icon above and get searching.  You can use Advanced Search to search for books by level or topic.  Create your own book list and take it to the library to see if we’ve got any of the books on the shelves.  If we don’t have it in our library, I can add it to our wishlist!

Literacy Survey

This year our school is taking part in the National Literacy Trust‘s annual survey.

Please take the time to complete the survey by clicking on the logo or address below.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Harlaw

Completing the questions should take no more than 25 minutes.  It’s completely anonymous.

Your answers will help us gain a better understanding of what you think about literacy – your own skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening, and technology use, as well as the importance of these skills to your later life.

The deadline for survey completion is Friday the 14th of December.
